On Friday afternoon, UFC officials filed a license application on the heavyweight contender's behalf for a bout with Junior Dos Santos at UFC 146, Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Keith Kizer told MMA Junkie in an interview. Because Overeem is not currently licensed, he does not face an immediate suspension and/or fine. However, the NSAC could deny his license or sanction him in other ways. Prior to the application, NSAC chairman Raymond "Skip" Avansino Jr. asked Overeem to appear before the commission at the meeting, likely to answer for the failed drug test that served as part of a conditional license granted to fight Brock Lesnar at UFC 141. Overeem had never tested positive for banned substances before this past week's result. Over the weekend, UFC president Dana White said a co-main event fight between former champ Frank Mir and Cain Velasquez will go on as planned, ending, for now, speculation that Mir would be installed as Overeem's replacement to fight current champ Dos Santos.

I really hope the reem can get his head out of his ass and make good on the bad test. This fight was gonna be one of the best HW cards in the UFC. If he cant get this fixed up we will be seeing him destroy people in Japan. Mir looks to be the best cannidate but Dos Santos will drop him 1st round.

I hope Reem can get his license to fight Dos Santos as well, I'm not sure if Mir could take Santos or not.
